...it appears that the pilots were completely at a loss as to exactly WHICH airport they had landed at. In fact it appears that neither of them had ever even heard of the airport where they ended up at. And when they were told where they were they could even pronounce the name correctly.

Note that the plane has since successfully taken-off and has finally gotten to their correct destination:
